Congratulations to the 3,000+ stompers who turned the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) into a stair climbers paradise today. You guys sure know how to get your stomp on :) #StadiumStomp

The half course starts at the bottom with longer steps, running up them are great as you can get the stride and distance, going down them was harder, as I sort of ended up doing a shuffle step, probably creating more work then necessary and then it was on the top section. The steps were closers together and higher, more steps to conquer on this section which was just crying out for Calves to start burning and the get the heart rate pumping. I didnt have a plan of strategy going in, all I knew is I wanted to do it in under an hour. So little baby step shuffles on the way down and double step climbs on the way up, also using the hand rails to incorporate a full body movement rather than just rely on the leg burn.
I had no idea where I was on the MCG and stopped for a few brief seconds to try and spot Dave (no luck, surprisingly since he was dressed as a giant shoe).
